New Y-pipe w/Pics...... I had my old y-pipe modified to use a Flowmaster merge (dual 3" to 3.5")
The sound is a little deeper and quieter at idle. It eliminated all rasp and popping sounds at 2500rpm, however the dynomax bullet got rid of some of that before the new merge. Its a mixture of a three different exhaust manufactures, Flowmaster merge, Dynomax Bullet, Magnaflow muffler. I don't discriminate!!!
How much power do you think I picked up? I was making 570rwhp prior to the change. I won't be able to get it back on the rollers until next season, its pretty much put away for the winter now.
Anyways here are the pics

I would bet you picked up a few hp and I bet you picked up a chuck of torque in the mid range from 3-4000 rpm.
I did the same thing to my car and eliminated the "dip" in the torque curve in the midrange.

Very Nice! I’ve kinda been leaning towards a true dual set up but I don’t really want to dump the exhaust before the rear end. Any way to get some sound clips up maybe?

I did something similar. I took my QTP offroad Y and did major surjury just to get it to fit without hitting the floor then eliminated the unneeded slip joints. Then I went with an LT1 trans crossmember to lighten it up and to clear the left part of the Y better.
